Simple ScreenTime

Kids unlock screen time by doing chores, reading & active play - you set the daily limit, they earn the rest. Built by a mom, tested on real kids.

Simple ScreenTime turns screen time into something kids earn — not just something you take away.

You set a healthy daily limit for each child. When that time runs out, their phone locks. But instead of a standoff, kids can top up their day by doing the things you actually want them to do: chores, reading, music practice, or getting outside. Every activity you approve adds bonus minutes they can choose to spend now or save for later.

Everything is managed from a simple parent dashboard you open in any browser — no second device or complicated setup required.

HOW IT WORKS • Add each child and set their weekday and weekend limits. • Install Simple ScreenTime on their iPhone and pair it in seconds with a QR code. • Choose which apps count toward the daily limit. • Create the bonus activities kids can complete to earn extra time.

WHAT YOUR KIDS SEE • A clear, honest view of how much everyday time they have available. • A simple list of activities they can do to earn more. • The choice to spend bonus time now or bank it for another day.

WHAT YOU GET • Daily limits that actually enforce — the phone locks when time is up, even if the app is closed. • One-tap ways to give more time or fully unlock when life happens. • A live view of each child's status and how they're spending their time. • Bonus balances that roll over, so good habits add up.

BUILT ON APPLE SCREEN TIME Simple ScreenTime uses Apple's built-in Screen Time (Family Controls) to enforce limits securely and privately. The details of which apps your child uses stay on their device — we never see or store them.

PRIVACY FIRST We only store what's needed to run the service: your settings, the activities you create, and the bonus minutes your kids earn. No browsing history, no location, no ads, ever.

MADE BY A MOM, TESTED ON MY OWN KIDS I built Simple ScreenTime for my own family after one too many battles over screen time. It's running on my daughters' phones right now — and the best part isn't the limits. It's that they're putting their phones down and playing together again.

Simple ScreenTime helps families trade daily screen-time battles for a simple deal: do good things, earn your time.
